Your Volunteering Did Make a Difference

You helped canvass by phone or on foot in swing states for President Obama's reelection. You worked phone banks for all of our local candidates, rang doorbells, did data entry, delivered yard signs. You helped spread the word for Brad Schneider, Jan Schakowsky, Daniel Biss, Robyn Gabel, Laura Fine, Julie Morrison, Scott Drury and helped get out the vote on Election Day. -- And every one of your candidates WON!

Nice work, everybody.

Grassroots politics is all about connecting our neighborhoods with our elected officials and keeping that connection alive. We invite you to be a part of this process with the New Trier Dems in 2013,  a new year that, along with many challenges, holds a great deal of promise.

Over the next two years, you'll be hearing a lot from the exceptional public servants who will be representing New Trier. -- And they should be hearing a lot from you. In fact, they need to hear from you and want to hear from you in order to represent you most effectively.
